1948 FORD F3 PICKUP

The 1948 Fat Fender F3 Ford pickup is a classic that is as cool today, as it was when it drove off the line. While unique in and of itself, owner Andrew Derdok wanted something extra special for his restoration. That special touch is the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins under the hood.

The diesel is backed by a Dodge 727 automatic and 3.07 “road gears” let this truck cruise down the road at the posted highway speeds with ease.

The original plan was to make this truck a daily driver and carry a dirt bike and other toys in the back. That plan changed when the finished rig transformed into a show quality ride. While driven routinely, the hauling of dirt bikes is strictly prohibited.
